Horrordle

About Horrordle

Horrordle describes itself as like that other word game, but a bit creepier. Each day brings one new five-letter word for all players, picked with a horror film in mind.

You type guesses on the on-screen keyboard and the tiles show which letters are right and in place, in the word but elsewhere, or absent, all dressed in blood-spattered artwork. After the last guess the game tells you the word and the film it belongs to, for example TRICK as in Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), along with a short line about the film, so each day doubles as a horror recommendation.

Stats track your results, there is an optional account, and the game is published by Living Dead Co.

It suits horror fans and Wordle players looking for a themed variant.

How to play Horrordle

1. Type a five-letter word and press Enter.
2. Read the tile colours: right letter in the right place, right letter elsewhere, or not in the word.
3. Narrow down the word within six tries.
4. See the horror film behind the word and share your result.

Tips

• Horror vocabulary helps: think of words like GHOST, BLOOD, KNIFE or TRICK.
• The answer is a normal English word, so standard Wordle openers still work.
• Film titles and taglines are a good source of candidates.
• Do not reuse letters already shown as absent.
